Tattoo Sessions

A tattoo session with me can be as long or as short as you feel comfortable with and if you are unsure, we will take a slow and thoughtful approach. Each design is custom tailored to you, as is my approach to your tattoo session.

Though getting tattooed is not without discomfort, I endeavour in every way to make your experience as relaxing and gentle as possible, using my experience not only as a tattoo artist of 5 + years but also as a heavily tattooed person myself, ensuring you have everything you need during our sessions.

↠ WHAT TO EXPECT

A custom made design created specifically for you.

A patient process working with your ideas, wishes and needs.

A quiet private studio where you can relax and let go.

A gentle, conscious rhythm, never rushed.

A tattoo journey, meaningful and aligned with your personal transformation.

Extra Comforts, like a heated treatment bed to relax the muscles. Room heated to your preference.

Hot and cold drinks available on request, healthy or sugary snacks provided (for when blood sugars dip).

A peaceful outdoor garden space to take a break in.

Parking available in the surrounding area.

Good connections to the studio via public transport or a short walk from City centre.

↠ WHERE

In my Private tattoo studio in the peaceful suburbs of Colchester, Essex, an hour out of London. Held in a fresh pine cabin, with relaxing birdsong and perfume of essential oils. A quiet and intentional retreat away from daily life.

Are you ready to begin your transformation?

Whatever your reason for getting tattooed, most people agree that their most special tattoos have a meaning to them. Especially larger scale tattoos, can be a test of character, surrender and a deeper look inside ourselves, introspection.

Spending time engaging only with our thoughts and feelings during a tattoo session, we can truly tune into our conscious mind and ask ourselves who we really want to be. Physical transformation on the outside begins from within, from mindful connection with our deepest selves and ultimately we begin to shape ourselves into the being that we wish.

Creating a tattoo for you;

Not all tattoos need be meaningful of course but even the ones we think are not, are still a reflection of our choices, personality, preferences and lived experiences.

I work with you, a collaboration, to create a custom design specifically for you and your story. Tattooing can be a sacred art, a collaboration between myself (artist, facilitator, mediator) and yourself (client, protagonist, explorer). You are an explorer, wanderer, on an inward journey to engage with your energy, path and ultimate truth.

This does not mean it has to be a literal representation, sometimes the tattoo can be something more abstract, perhaps involving some colours, brushstrokes or elements that are meaningful to you.

By choosing me to tattoo you, I offer a conscious and mindful approach from start to finish. If you are unsure about what you would like tattooed and need a little more guidance and direction from someone with experience, please book a consultation with me to start the process.

Please take a look at my portfolio of some past works to see if you believe our energies align, view here.
